The .prc file can be compressed in several ways. Standard Palm compression which is documented. Such books can be reverted to source. Usually the books are compressed in the proprietary Mobipocket compression.
The DRM is probably simply an encryption using the PID as key.
The current .mobi format is only different in some details.
